A little about me...

It started so innocently one October eve in 2007. We thought we'd whip up a couple of costumes and join the festivities in Greenwich Village in New York. Our Lego costumes landed us a prize from the official New York Halloween parade organizers that year! I've since gone bi-coastal and am now living and working in Portland, Oregon!

I now own a small business creating larger than life designs and characters. I'm happy to say that my creations have featured in everything from halloween parades, art installations, Burning Man and even a cameo in the documentary 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead'.

I love making the best designs possible, and love the challenge of custom work. If you have something you'd like me to create, give me a shout!

Events and Art

It all started with a phone call to ask me if I'd be interested in creating a 12 foot cuddly bear.

Marvin was for an interactive art installation up in Toronto. Red Paper Heart approached me with their bear design drawings - I then modelled the bear in clay, designed the construction, sourced the materials and created a monster. A cuddly cute monster.
